Well, This Should Be interesting...!!!!

Other

Just out of curiosity... what do you call this:

Image

I’ve heard at least 4 different variations of names for this item, but I just came across an image which states that different areas of the UK call it something different!!!

Just for the record, I call it ‘BUN’ (I’m from Birmingham in the West Midlands)

Image

I’d love to hear what everyone else calls it!

Feel free to comment your variation below, & optionally, where you are from in the UK.

This should be interesting!!!! ☺️

I'm from Scotland and we call it a morning roll, a bap and a barm! My husband is from Northern Ireland and it is very much a bap!

Oh my! Morning roll!!! Never heard that one before!! It’s very long lol 😂 (compared to bun!) But according to the image you’re correct for using that, as you’re in Scotland ☺️ The only other variations I’ve ever heard of ’bun’ are bap or barm. But here in The Midlands I think the term bun is widely used. The others sound SO foreign to me 🙈😂

3rd person I’ve heard of who uses that term!!! It doesn’t make sense to call it a ’roll’ when there’s no rolling involved lol 🙈😂 & according to the above image that’s the correct term to use, as you’re from the South 😊👍🏻

I'm for County Durham and call it a bun, my friend from Manchester calls it a barmcake and one from Birmingham a cob 🤔

I call it a bun too. Snaps! 🙏🏻 Oh my! Barmcake?!!? That sounds ridiculous 😂😂😂 But it does say on the image that’s what they call it in the North West! & I’ve heard a few people call it a cob. Or bap or barm but those are mainly Northerners. It’s been very interesting to find out what everyone calls a simple everyday food item. I had no idea it could have 16 different names! That’s a right achievement!!!!

Call it what you like as long as you fill it with corned beef and

Branston Pickle then forward it to me 😉

Lol 😂 I can’t say I like either of those fillings, but hey you can throw just about anything in to a ‘bun’ & it’ll taste good 😋😊
